All,
I took some time to reroute my cables and tidy up my case a bit. However, I'm still not satisfied with the results. Could you please take a few seconds to tell me how it looks in your opinion? I'd love the feedback plus any ideas to further improve the cable management in my case. Thanks a bunch!

I just did some cable management today too man!

Heres what I did:



Try to separate the CPU power cable from the rest of the power cables and run it along the top of the motherboard. This is going to let you run the rest of the power cables along the right edge of the motherboard. Kinda like what I did. I took out the CPU cable from the cable tie and treated it like a separate individual cable coming out the power supply. Everything else looks good though.

Looks good. I will try to separate the power wires as suggested. I guess I expect too much. I wanted no visible wires but I must live with a few it seems.

Looks good. Makes me want a new PSU so I can do mine better

Looks great! One thing I spotted, and I'd change, I'd turn your HDD's around, so all the connectors are at the back.

Also, Have you considered cutting holes in the MOBO tray?

Here's mine;

Looks nice! But you don't have your HDD facing the back either!

I love it though, that 900 looks really clean man! So did you cut that hole where all the cables from the PSU are going through in the bottom?

You want to get that massive 24 pin cbale out of the way.

And i find for any cable that is showing, sleeving it black makes it look oh so much better, i dont have any wires that arent black in my pc (apart from my cathode power )

I appreciate all of the feedback and tips. I've separated the main power cables and rerouted them out of the way. That cleared up the middle a good bit! I tried turning the HDDs around, but I don't have enough clearance for the cables in the back without the "tooless" rails hitting the side panel. I think I'll buy some black sleeving and cover up the remaining exposed wires. Also, the "bird nest" in the 5.25" bays will be cleaned up a bit and attached to the front stamped grill to pull them out of view as best as possible.

Again, I appreciate the help everyone. Here's a pic to show the latest changes.
